- solotronics 10y agothe problem is more complicated than you make it out to be. DDoS aren't always some special kind of packet or traffic that is easy to identify, it is just a flood of normal looking traffic from a ton of compromised sources
- api 10y agoI didn't say it was easy. I just have the impression that nobody is even really trying to do anything about it Internet-wide. Instead we just have protection as a service (Cloudflare, etc.) which provide protection but do not actually solve the problem. (... and I wonder if these DDOSes are going to get big enough to take them down eventually?) Source quench would help. It's not a silver bullet but it would make this a lot harder. In many cases (including ours) there are ways to ID legitimate traffic vs. junk.
